Key legal question
Whether an administrative law appeal is admissible against a cantonal inadmissibility decision concerning a residence permit for a change of canton.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellant had no federal-law or treaty-based entitlement to the requested permit.
Extracted reasoning
Although an appeal against a final cantonal inadmissibility decision can in principle be brought where federal law would govern the merits, foreign nationals' appeal is excluded absent a right to the permit. Article 7 LDDS did not apply after the divorce, and a permit valid in one canton does not create a right to obtain the same permit in another canton.
